Laser system for cold atom experiments in optical surface trap

In this final year project, a compact laser system is built and characterized for cold atom experiments with 87Rb atoms. We build 2 tunable grating stabilized external cavity diode lasers (ECDLs) at 780nm, serving as the lasers for cooling and trapping of the atoms. The power from one of the ECDL is...
